Well, I've refrained up to now from mentioning Hamlet! The Musical!,
since it runs at around 65 minutes, and the original request was for a
full length H... But in the happy spirit of shameless plugging I will
note that it is currently running at C venues, on the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival, and that notwithstanding a dreadful review in the Scotsman we
completely sold out on the day the review appeared, nine days after the
critic actually saw the show. I can only assume that the other reviews,
and word of mouth, are filling seats, which is nice since I costumed the
show...
Best wishes, and good luck with Stoppard,
Stevie

Many years ago, I was told of a burlesque or travesty called
"Oklahamlet," which retells the story of the melancholy Dane using the
framework and tunes of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical. I remember
only one detail: Ophelia and Hamlet sing a duet entitled "People Will
Say We're Insane."
